Network (CIFS) Error when using ShareCenter GUI
« on: July 27, 2011, 11:23:54 PM »
I am wondering if anyone else has experienced this error. I have not got to understanding completely the conditions that cause the error yet.
I was migrating a large amount of data from a ReadyNAS to the DNS-320 via my Windows 7 system. While that was happening I created another user in the GUI. The data transfer immediately failed with an error along the lines that "the file was no longer available". I tried retry but no go. I skipped the file and the copy operation automatically started up again with the next file. Assuming it was just the vagaries of Windows, I then created a new share in the GUI and the same error occurred.
It would be an awful restriction if you could only use the GUI when the NAS box is idle.
There were no Windows Eventlog entries and the only entry in the DNS-320 log just after the new user was created was "FTP server disable". There was no log entry when the share was created but there are entries "FTP server disable" around the time of the second error. It should not be the reason as I am not using FTP but it is too much of a co-incidence.

If I'm not wrong, the samba daemon got restarted as a result of you adding new user thus interrupting the copying process.

Yeah - well that just sucks if it is true.
I have never had this sort of problem with my NetGear ReadyNAS.
I am going to do more tests when the migration is finished but I still have about 1 1/2 hours and 40 GB to go and I am not about to start experimenting now ;)

That's pretty slow, I assumed you're on 100Mbps network. FYI, it took me around 1hr to transfer 100GB file between the NAS HDD via shell access.

Was that reading from a NAS box as well? I haven't really looked at performance as I was concentrating more on the migration. It looks like I am getting 9MB/s to each NAS box and I am using explorer rather than something fast like robocopy

Doing any change on the NAS while transferring files should be avoided,
Last night, my transfers failed because I plugged a usb key in the usb port!

This is a bit of an annoyance, but heh.
